Chapter 45: Life to Death
In the drizzle, outside the city, in the garbage disposal area of the third district, a thin old man with a rickety man pushed a wooden cart containing the corpses of many monsters and walked towards the garbage disposal area.
Sifang City is not small, but it is not too big, it can barely accommodate 300,000 people, but the population gathered within Sifang City is more than 400,000, outside Sifang City, there are a total of 12 waste picker gathering places, divided into 1 to 12 districts, and the population of each waste gathering place ranges from a few thousand to 10,000.
Most of the people here live on the household garbage generated by the nobles in the city, and some young people will choose to hunt mutant monsters in the wilderness, this work is very dangerous for ordinary people without abilities, but this is a choice that many people have no choice.
"Hey!" The thin old man picked up a pitch-black, dry corpse and threw it at the pile of corpses in front of him.
The pitch-black corpse naturally rolled down to the bottom of the pile.
"Whew! The old man gasped for a moment and muttered, "It doesn't look very big, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy..."
Coming back to his senses, the old man began to carry the corpses of other mutant monsters again.
........
Ordinary mutant beasts are dead, and the corpses can still be used as the lowest-level mutant monsters, but those lowest-level mutant monsters are dead, even other mutant monsters don't want to eat them, so they can only take them here to throw them away, and the third area is a garbage area dedicated to discarding the corpses of these mutants, even if they are scavengers, they don't want to come here, they can't pick up anything at all, and they may get sick if they're not careful.
........
After throwing away the corpse of the mutant monster, the old man pushed the flatbed cart and walked towards the city.
The drizzle continued to fall, and in the pile of corpses, there was a corpse as black as a dried corpse.
..........
"Tick tock. Tick tock..."In the pile of corpses, drops of scarlet blood mixed with rain dripped into the body of the dried corpse.
........
"Tick tock..."I don't know how long time passed, Li Li barely regained consciousness in the mud.
"Not dead yet....." This is Li Li's first consciousness.
Another drop of blood fell between Li Li's lips, and Li Li licked it subconsciously, instantly realizing it in his heart.
"I didn't expect... It's actually drinking the blood of this monster.." Li Li thought in his heart.
Time passed little by little, and under Li Li's intentional control, he drank more and more blood until, Li Li sensed his body again.
Li Li laboriously took out the blood bag from the storage space and bit the blood bag with difficulty.
"Goo...."
Li Li swallowed bag after bag of blood in the blood bag, bag after bag, until all the blood bags in the storage space were consumed, Li Liqiang's spirit was relaxed, and the whole person fainted again.
Time passes slowly.....
Suddenly, in the pile of corpses, a thin arm suddenly stretched out, and then, the surrounding corpses trembled, and a dark and thin figure rose from the pile of corpses.
"Poof!" Li Li didn't care about the others, and crawled towards the nearest corpse that was relatively fresh in the senses.
Coming to the corpse, Li Li bit off the corpse's neck.
"Goo! Mutter! ......The blood of the corpse had coagulated, but Li Li still tried his best to suck every piece of pulpy blood.
After a while, Li Li once again exhausted the strength he had accumulated for a long time, his eyes were dizzy, and he lost consciousness again.
...........
In the following time, Li Li would wake up every once in a while, and at this time, Li Li would force himself to move, find a relatively fresh corpse nearby, suck blood, and then fall into a coma again.
Almost every day or two, a cartload of mutant monster corpses would fall, and Li Li would stay under the dumping location, and when he woke up, he would be able to replenish his energy with minimal effort.
These corpses, without exception, are the corpses of the lowest-level mutant monsters, Li Li once said that sucking the blood of these guys will definitely cause problems, but he has no choice now, if he doesn't suck, he will have to die, even if it is a chronic suicide, it is better than dying immediately.
..........
Time passed day by day, the skin and flesh on Li Li's chest had grown, and the broken sternum had also been straightened by Li Li, and now it should have grown well, and now, just one leg, one hand, and the heart in the body have grown again.
"Whew!"
After Li Li sucked enough blood again, his whole body relaxed and fell on the pile of corpses.
After many days of recovery, Li Li was awake for a lot longer than at the beginning, but it still did not exceed three minutes, so the first thing Li Li did when he was awake every day was to suck blood and replenish energy.
.......
Li Li came to his senses again.
"Brain!" Li Li called out in his heart.
"Temporal energy: 52% (insufficient energy to start the regression program)"
"Has it been seventeen days?" Li Li thought in his heart.
On his last day of gladiatorial growth, his space-time energy had recovered to 35%, and according to the rate at which the space-time energy had recovered a little bit a day, it had been seventeen days since he came to this corpse pile.
By now, he had been able to stay awake for about an hour a day, and the extra time allowed him to think about other things.
He can only suck a certain amount of blood at a time, if there is more, the next time he is awake will be greatly delayed, and the damage to his zombie bloodline is also very great, now Li Li sucks blood every day to ensure that he is awake about twice a day.
After sucking the blood, Li Li looked up at the gray sky. According to the law of Li Li's observation in the past two days, he should be awake during the day this time, so today should be cloudy.
.......
"Let's go! Just ahead, there is a large garbage dump. A childish child's voice sounded.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! I saw that there were no people there, maybe no one had found it yet, and maybe something good was there. ”
"Ah Zhi, don't lie to people..."
..........
"Well, someone?" Li Li looked in the direction where the voice came from.
"Ah Zhi...."Another voice came.
"It's a child," Li Li muttered.
After a few more moments, his zombie bloodline also sensed the presence of living creatures.
Li Li showed a struggling look in his eyes, two, it was two children, if he could suck the blood of a living creature, it would definitely greatly speed up the progress of his body's recovery.
But..... After struggling for a while, Li Li gritted his teeth and finally made a decision, and then, his expression gradually calmed down.
"Wow... It stinks, it's full of monster corpses, Ah Zhi, let's go back, right? A young male voice sounded.
"Adong, if you want to be a qualified waste picker, you must first be not afraid of dirt and hardship."
"Who.. Who told you that. ”
"Of course it's my brother!"
"Your brother...", the immature male voice became more and more silent.
"What, are you scared?"
"Of course not!"
"Then let's go..."
"What can be in these monster corpses, besides, if you want to go, you have to go first.."
.............
"Hmm... It really stinks. Let's go back and get ready for a while. Ah Zhi's voice rang out.
"Good! Good! ”
Seeing that the two children were about to leave, Li Li had no choice but to say loudly: "Help!" Help me! ”
"Adong, did you hear someone shouting for help?"
"Is there one?"
“..... Help....." Another hoarse cry for help sounded.
"Someone really called for help, it's in the garbage over there..."
